It's haunting me.
This feeling is so weird. I was happy until morning when a realization gripped me, that one day, I too will fade away into fine dust. Yes, sudden and weird... I'm scared of death. I can't imagine staying away from the people I love, even for a second, and death will take away everything from me. I keep wondering....how would it feel while breathing my last moment? how would it feel when my soul would leave my body? how? Will it pain? Whats next after that? Will I ever remember Myself? Will I ever be able to meet the loved ones I lost in the past? I try to pacify myself saying, we came into life all alone and we shall leave all alone too. ..shucks.. but it doesn't seem to work at all. I feel as if I'm leaving myself, abandoning myself. I feel as if someone is controlling me and my life.. watching my every single move.
My parents.. what would I do without them? My friends... what if something happens to them? I used to believe in not being attached to anybody in this world, but I'm a living being for god sake and attachment is our trait. Those who say, they are not attached to anyone are lairs... pure white lies!
It all started today. One of my friend's mother expired and it was a shock. Again after few hours, I get another news that my another friend's mother expired too. This was really too much for me to handle. I can't even imagine a life without my mother. What am I suppose to do, if something like this happens with me. Even giving it a thought scares me. The more I avoid the topic, the more it haunts me. And this leads me to thinking about future. Neither I nor you is immortal. The thought that someday I too will have to lay on the death bed sends a chill down my spine. Infact, old age is something that scares me even though I know that death is independent of age.
Now I better stop cuz when I'm not in a state of writing, I mess up with words.
I pray to god to give my friends and their family, the strength to cope up with life and also bless them with a happy future.

Hey, dropped by 4m alok's blog.
ReplyDeleteWell, even the thought of losing any of my parents would scare the hell outta me. But whenever the fear of losing grips me, I remind myself of something my very good friend told me,
"u eventually will lose, but by thinking abt the loss later, don't lose the quality time u ve with it." [in context to life.]
So, this phase will pass. And at the end of it all, u will appreciate life much better.
Hope u r fine nw, :-)
Cheers!
It haunts you because you want to analyse it, and there is little that is known about it.
ReplyDeleteSo did I when I was a little boy and saw pictures of mummified bodies.
Appreciate your brain's curiosity, and move on! :)
@ express
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting.
yes, quality time indeed gains more points. But then the thought of losing a person with whom you spent the best times in your life is even more scary!
But seriously, thank you for sharing your thought with me. Definitely mez feeling a lot better than before.
@ alok
yes, at times I wish there was something.. something to make lives immortal. But then back to reality, I realize practically it is not possible.
So I do what I can do the best.... Move on! :)
hey shwetha,
ReplyDeletethis is a very nice touching article.. i liked it a lot.. very moving one :)
@ reshma
ReplyDeletehey, welcome back!
Thanks for visiting my Blog!
hey waste
ReplyDeletetrust me yesterday when u described all the incidents that took place in couple of days in your life...i was scared.
Its a natural reaction..when ever we hear about death a a small part of us do ponder upon the though that someday we will be dieing too...the fact will remain that instead of just thinking about it and spoiling our and other mood...we can try to make a difference in our and our close ones life by being humble on our own way...and respecting things that happens around us...
this is wat will keep our memories in other people mind...and end of the day that more imp...atleast for me..
"The fact that someone will remember me after i am dead"
Shwetz,
ReplyDeleteWell thats quite a feeling which scares every one.
But I believe its unavoidable and everyone has to face it.
I have read a book named 'Tuesdays with morrie'. Read this book , it will help you get some insight of this feeling... i got a e-book copy.. lemme know if u want it..
@rakesh
ReplyDeleteI guess I have to gear up to believe in the fact that live life someone will remember me after I am gone.
That will definitely make my life better But only for a while!
After that again I have to face the truth of life, the underlying fear and the curiosity of "how will it happen" and a desperate wish to make life immortal.
@Omi
Yep something Unavoidable. Hope some scientist listens to my plea! :)
Yes I would like to read 'Tuesdays with Morris'.
pass me on your email id.
ReplyDeletethe more u think -vely the more u feel depressed ....it's alwys gud to leave the nature's wrk on nature and concentrate on our own wrk.... wen the ryt time comes 4 anythng even if it's death ..it vil surely look good and u wont have prblms wid it trust me
